There's a preview of Avengers/Invaders #5 up at Newsarama, and while I don't usually comment on previews beyond "Hey, cool!" or "This looks good," this time I have a couple of thoughts on what I'm looking at there.
First of all, the second preview page features one of those nifty listings for each participating team, and New Captain America (presumably so named in order to differentiate him from Invaders Cap, although I can't help thinking "New Coke") is listed among the New Avengers. I'm not sure whether that's because he's actually joining, or because there's nowhere else to put him, but I'm glad to see that he's not among the Mighties because that would just be wrong.
Also, and this was for some reason a complete surprise to me--that scene with New Cap trying to warn Bucky not to try to disarm Zemo's bomb was very affecting. He has to realize that it won't work and shouldn't work, but the fact that he'd try to do that, even knowing what it could do to history, says something about where his head is at.
Finally, I'm wondering just when this takes place with respect to the Captain America book. Because I'm guessing that if New Cap is with the New Avengers and Black Widow is with the Mighties, they may not be as friendly here as they have been there.
